On what basis? The only people I've seen claiming this is prevalent are frustrated applicants, but I'd love to hear from someone who actually has seen the inside of one of these companies that uses AI filters in bulk.

> All you're accomplishing is burning out those of us in hiring, which makes the market worse for everyone.
The fundamental difference of course being that the applicant might need the job to eat and put a roof over their head, while the hiring people are employed and doing their job.
I get it, it sucks to be burnt out. But the often forgotten nuance of the job market is that there is a huge power asymmetry in hiring.

And I'm emphasizing that this kind of behavior is not going to get you a job, it's only making everyone's life worse. It's counterproductive in the extreme.
Give me one testimonial of someone who credibly demonstrates that these applications work.
It's unethical by Kant's universalizability principle: if everyone did it the hiring market would turn into a complete craps shoot.
